HIGH-RELIABILITY - RESULT OF A COORDINATED INSULATION SYSTEM USING SUPER PYRO-SHIELD GLASS POL VESTER AND PORCELAIN

For servioe under extreme conditions of contamination and humidity, or wh

.ere high vo ltages can

create destructive carbon tracking, flame-retardant glass polyester and porcelain materials form the basis for a mOdem, coordinated switchgear insulation system.

The important characteristics of Pyro-Shield iDsulation are:

o ability to resist tracking o low water absorption rate o low time-temperature

deterioration rate o excellent flame retardance o'higb resistance tp chemical

fumes o high impact strength Years of experience have shown

that when the absorption of moisture is held below one percent, as measured· by the ASTM 24-hour test, the reliability of the insulation is not noticeably impaired. PyroShield insulation measures less than one-half percent absorption.

Dust-filled or high-moisture atmospheres create abnormal opera· ting conditions, unfavorable to the high dielectric strength required at

high dielectric strength required at bus joints. There have been instances in the past where older insulation has experienced partial failure and possible electrical discharge leakage.. However, glass polyester materials have a high resistance to arc tracking and are seJf� healing.

Preformed insulating materials eliminate the need for molding and taping joints when connecting·shipping groups in the field. This method reduces installation time and resultant costs..

After bolting the main bus to the primary connectors. a molded polyester glass cap ia placed over the joint and fastened by means of a reuseable nylon pin. The same prefanned,· high dielectri c strength joints used in factory assembly are also used in field assembly. Insulation of conductor jomts in the field with consistent dielectric strength is now independent of experience of installation personnel.

All primary bus bar connections are constructed of round-edge tinplated aluminum bars. Bus �;Jars are ·

insulated by means of tight-fitting, extruded phenolic tubing. The tubing has a conducting layer depasited on the inside. to protect against the formation of corona in the small air spaces which may exist between the bars and the insulating tubes. The insulation is at bus potential.

All buses are mechanically braced to withstand repeated �ocks and stresses imposed by high current& of a magnitude corresponding to tbe momentary rating of the Ruptair power circuit breaker connected ·to the bus.

After grit blasting, the framework is conveye d through a spray tunnel. Here it is degreaaed and exposed to a hot phosphate chemical treating mixture followed by a hot aealinl solution and drying agent 'lbe panels, too, are treated similarly, except for grit blasting.

The hot phosphate bath effects a chemical conversion of the metallic swfaoe to a nonmetallic phosphate coatinc. Insoluble in water. this coating is effective in retarding corrosion. It is an exc:eUent Wldercoating for paint.

After cleaning and stabilization, the framework and panels receive a priming CXJat of ros�resisting paint. The framework. panels� other detail parts are �S>through an infrared lisht baking tunnel to insure adequate drying.

tact with the cubicle primary disamnect members. They aJso keep foreign matter from entering the clisconDect chambers. Shutters are designed to remain closed until the movable primary disconnects on the breaker are in position to enter the cubicle disconnect chambers.

The two shutter blades operate with a counterbalanced action. One blade moves up while the other moves down. This design requires a minimum of operating force with smooth abutter operation. Blades are actuated through a common link bar from a cam mounted on the circuit breaker frame.

RUPTAIR BREAKER'S HlGH EFFICIENCY

AflC I�IEUUP�

The Ruptair circuit breaker does not depend on any prestored me. dium. such as oil or oompressed air, for arc interruption. Intenuption is accompl.iabed in air at atmospheric pressure, with the aid of ·a self induced magnetic blowout faeld. and air draft. At the titfie the trip coil is energized, current is being carried through the main contacts. As the movable contact blade separates

from the main contact, the cuttent is tmnsferred to the arcing contact to protect the mirln current carrying surfaces. As the arcing contacts part. a power arc is drawn which is.tran&ferred first to the head and then the taU arc runneza as the moving con· tact passes close to them on its opening stroke. Transfer of the arc tO the arc runners establishes the full flow of current through the blowout coils. settipg up the ma.g-

netic field. The magnetic field, in accompaniment with the natural thermal effects of the heated. arc, and configuration of the current ·carrying circuit. forces the arc upward into the barrier stack. The cool surfaces of the barrier stack cool and deionize the arc while the slots in the stack reduce its croes section and elongate it. The arc runners are made !)f wide. heavy material for lllllXimum heat dissipation and help to minimize metal vapo�tion. To facilitate interruption of low currents, a puffer assembly provides a . movement of air through the contact area to aid the magnetic flcld in moving the arc into the barrier stack. All these effects oollabomte to increase the resistance of tl)t arc and ·

·· enable it to be � at an early current zero.

FOR SAFE AND CONTROLLED RACKING OF CIRCUit BREAK.ER

5-b- bna!tor- Safe and quick racking in of the breaker to oonnected position is achieved by one stroke of a lever crank.

The pivot point of the lever crank is inserted into its mating hole in the fulcrum angle mounted on the com.partment floor. A short upward stroke of the crank ·revers the breaker into the full operating position. The breaker can be closed only when in the full operating position.

To withdraw the breaker, the fulcrum pin is inserted into its matina hole in the bearing block of the breaker carriage. Pivoting about the fulcrum angle with a short downward stroke quickly withdraws the breaker. The breaker release pedal must be depressed, raising the interlock and tripping the breaker before the breaker can be moved from the connected position. "' J

I 5-kv breaket-To use the rackinR lever, the pivot poin\ of the lever is inserted into the mating hole on the lower front edge of the breaker. The pawl engages a rack on the floor of the cubicle, and a simple pumping of

the racking lever moves the breaker into desired pclSition.

·

Before the breaker can be moved from the connected position, the breaker · release pedal must be depressed. This ra:ises the interlock and trips the breaker for Safe removal.

.. WITHOUT EXPOSURE TO ACCESSIBLE CURRENT TRANSFORMERS �NY HIGH-VOlTAGE AREAS

Current transformers covered by this specific ation are of AllisChalmers manufacture, insulated and built to NEMA and IEEE standards.

·Unless otherwise specified, the mechanical rating of the current transformers in RMS amperes is at least equal. to the momenta..Y rating of the breaker in RMS amperes at circuit voltalie. The o�e-Stl(X)nd thermal rating in RMS amperes is at least equal to the symmetrical interrupting current rating of the circuit breaker in RMS am peres at

. circuit voltage. Adequate· protection of the trans

fanners from poss1ble damage· due to circuit breaker interruption is offered by enclosing them in an easily removable grounded metal barrier.

The current transformers may be molinted either on the bus, load, or bus- and Jo ad-side of the circuit breaker, depending on the requirements of the application.

TO!OIDAL TYPE DD and FD current transformers are used for ratios from 200:5 through 7000:5. Metering accuracies at low mtios are Ob-

tained by using high-quality core steel wound on a cireular mold \Ultil the desired cross-section area is obtained. The cxire is then insulated with varnished cloth and paper. To further improve the accuracies, each transformer has a compensated, fully distributed secondary winding.

Mounted in the circ uit breaker compartment, it is possible to test the transformers without. removing them from the unit. Maximum operator safety .is maintained since removal of the circuit breaker automatically reinOves the primary bar and closes off" the high-voltage bus compartment.

WOUND TYPIE MKS current transformers are used for applications where ratios below 200:5 are required. They are mounted in a rear comparbnent that is isolated from the bus compartment by a steel barrier. Isolation from the cable compartment is provided by the cable support block or pothead support plate and pothead.

Wound type cvrrent tronsforODen mounted in reat of �ltv unit.

This type of CT consists of several turns of primary conductor and a cylindrical secondary coil inserted inside the primary winding. One leg of the precut rectangu}M steel laminations is stacked through the opening of the secondary winding. The primary winding may consist of several turns. depending on accuracy and ratio desin!d.

TRUNNIO�-MOUNTED POTENTIAL TRANSFORMERS

Potential transformers covered by this specification are of AllisChalmers manufacture, built and tested in accomanoe with the latest NEMA and IEEE standards.

The use of epoxy resin as the insulation between primary and seoondary windings permit& corona control with less space between coila. Smaller in size than conventional dry-type transformers, three PT's can be mounted on one tilt-out carriage.

'I1Us drawout compartment for PI>-. tential transformers is located in the top rear of the breaker unit at convenient shoulder height. Or units can be motmted in an auxiliary un.il The transfonners are mounted on a separate· base which piVQts in � pair of

trunnions. The pivoted base is easily rotated 180 degrees to disconnect position. ThreepotMtialir!msfonnere may be mounted on one tilt-out carriage.

While pivoting from the ooiUlected to the dis.eonnecteq position, the transfonner prima ry windings and transformer-mOUJ;lted current-limiting fuses are a utomatically and safely grounded to remove any charge from the windings. When the transformers are in the disconnect position, the base acts as a barrier between the stationary primary studs and the operator. The w.eight is distributed so that a minimum amount of effort is needed to revol�e the carriage.

The rear of. a breaker unit is divided into three high-voltage compart-

. ments. each separated from the others by steel barriers. The tear frame is of combination welded and bolted construction to ghte overau rigidity while allowing easy. access to the equipmept. 'I'he main bus location is p� as close as possible to main disconnects to eliminate lUlneoessary connectors and to ·provide maximum insulation. The cable entrance space provides. coinplete flexibility of termination. witb6ut any- structural or. conductor mOdifications. Either upfeed or �wnfeed pothead or lug connections. may be made by reversing the lugs or mounting the pothead in its alternate position for upfeed. Adequate space for the building of stress cones bas been �rovided.

REGARDLESS OF CABLE DIRECTION. TYPE OR T ERMINATION

CABLE YYPE AND SIZE

Type and size of incoming cable are important when choosing the tenninating method. A complete descriPtion of. entering cable is necessary. Cormection of cables to potheads can be by wiping sleeve8, stuffing box gland. cable clamp or conduit adapter - depending on type of cable used.

II'OYHUDS

.Allis-Chalmers potheads are designed with liberal insulation to meet switchgear dielectric standards. Cast iron body construction, rather than welded, minimizes compound leak· age. Offset body construction of threeconductor potheads makes cable installation easy when two potheads are used. Maximum of one three-conductor and three. single-conductor potheads am Be mounted in a standard unit.

ACCESSIBILITY
